From School Library Journal Gr 3–6—Molly and Miri haven't always been sisters; they were brought together through magic. Molly is originally from 1935 but became Miri's fraternal twin in Miri's contemporary family (with two other sets of twins; one older, one younger) when they traveled through time. The girls travel first to 1918, where Molly meets her mother and wonders if she's supposed to prevent her parents from meeting in order to save her mother from dying in childbirth. But there seems to be another task in store for the girls. They travel to the 1860s, accidentally joined by their brothers, who are dressed as Union soldiers for a Civil War reenactment and are captured by Confederate soldiers. The girls must figure out how to save their brothers and return to their own time. The fast-paced plot is dramatically narrated by Cris Dukehart, with Southern accents, deep voices, or a snarky tone for villains and much lighter voices for the children. The narration accentuates the drama of the action and the children's contemporary language. Not all questions are addressed, however, leaving open the possibility of another time-travel tale.—Maria Salvadore, District of Columbia
Review
“Entertaining and heart-warming... A story to remember.” ―Library Media Connection
“Time travel is tricky. Barrows, though, proves she knows the way around the paradoxes that can stymie science fiction writers... The plot is fast paced and thrilling.” ―VOYA
“Barrows examines many of the previously unanswered, difficult questions of time travel but does not answer all mysteries, paving the way for a possible third book.” ―Kirkus Reviews

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The "Magic" Continues In This Imaginative Book ... By delicateflower152 Annie Barrows’ latest book “Magic in the Mix” grants that wish – it is another magical adventure involving the “twins” Molly and Miri Gill. Annie Barrows provides enough background information about the Gills and about Molly and Miri that readers need not have read “The Magic Half” to understand and enjoy this book. Humor and family fun make this book delightful to read alone or to read aloud at bedtime.In this continuation of their story, the two girls are able to time-travel back-and-forth between the past and the present. Annie Barrows’ use of their home and the renovation of its various architectural features provide the vehicle by which the two come and go. Jumping from the back porch into 1918, into the present through the front door, and back to a Civil War battle aftermath through a window, the girls discover different facets of Molly’s family history. Their two brothers Ray and Robbie accidentally return to the Civil War period and enter the girls’ time-travel adventures. That necessitates Molly’s and Miri’s return time-travel to 1918 and the help of Molly’s mother, Maudie, plus the counsel of her grandmother May, who is aware of the magic that affects the girls’ lives and the future. The girls engineer their brothers’ rescue and are able to return to the present day.“Magic in the Mix” is fun to read. The mixture of history from the Civil War era, the early 20th century, and contemporary times adds to the story. It may foster a curiosity in young readers about the historical events that form a part of the narrative. The book is not difficult to read; the events taking place in the lives of the characters are easy to follow. Characters – with the exception of Flo, Molly’s embittered aunt - are individuals that readers would enjoy meeting. “Magic in the Mix” is an appropriate book for the target audience. However, parents should be aware that in the “Author’s Note”, Annie Barrows quotes General Sheridan saying “G** D**** …” when he becomes enraged about a situation. Adults or older teens looking for a light, enjoyable book to read may also enjoy “Magic in the Mix”.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A little more mature than the Ivy and Bean series, but every bit as fun and compelling a read for my 7 year old AND myself By J. Weaver My daughter loves Annie Barrows's Ivy and Bean series, so I jumped at the chance for another book by the same author. This is a book with a bit more than just fun adventures going for it. Twin sisters Molly and Miri do go on adventures, but their experiences are a little deeper in this book.The story is imaginative, touching, and educational all at once. Young readers will learn a little bit about the Great Depression and a little bit about the Civil War. What they will learn about the most, though, is the importance of family, friendship, and believing in one’s self. They will learn that people in the past really weren’t so different from people today in that we all have the same basic needs and that compassion and love go far.I loved this book as much as my daughter does. In fact, I started it the evening we received it while she started it the next afternoon while I was making dinner. She was so caught up in the book that she didn't give it back to me until bedtime, and then only because she had no choice. It really is a compelling story, made all the more interesting for the sibling connections (three sets of twins) and the history.While this is actually the second book about Molly and Miri and their time travels, it can easily be read on its own. Barrows does a great job of explaining how the girls became "twins" without making the reader feel like she was just summarizing a previous book. That said, we've got the first book on order now.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A sequel that's even better than the first By Mamma Ro I haven't read this book but my 8-year-old daughter would give it 5 stars. She has now read this book four times since she got it for Christmas a little over a year ago! I read the first book (The Magic Half) and really enjoyed it. It was a catchy story with time travel, and spunky tenacious justice-seeking female characters in peril. I knew my daughter would enjoy it and knew she'd want to get the 2nd book in the series when it came out.I've asked her about it and she says "the first book was good but this 2nd book is really really great". Which would account for why she's read it twice before and has now just finished reading it again (and then again!) twice this month!
